Poor little Chris Christie. Some of his most loyal following, the entire Morning Schmoe set at 30 Rock across the water in NYC, has finally given up and given in ... they can't support your callous treatment of the Sandy Hook families looking for common sense gun reform in the wake of their losses.

A clear smarmy, sanz conscience Dicque Move that will haunt you if you do indeed attempt to run (or lope) for president in 2016, Christie.

For shame. If you have any. Footage courtesy New Jersey dot com.

Already in full possession of a well-earned 'bully' label, Chris has truly put himself past the pale this time. He refused to meet with the families of the shooting tragedy in neighboring Connecticut, saying he'd already heard their arguments.

They didn't move him. He then defended his decision to snub them. Which was almost more heinous than the refusal. He feels "extraordinary sympathy" … but will still not give the Connecticut families five minutes of his valuable gubernatorial time.

Here's how the Starbucks and Scarborough Round Table of Morning Jesters reacted - so imagine how offended the rest of us are!

Christie, no doubt you are going to get plenty of Progressive, Liberal, Gun Reform, Mom and Dem in General blowback on this one. Allow me to add my ten cents.

Screw you and the very unlucky horse you rode in on, there is no excuse for that arrogant, hubris-filled and childish refusal to even deign to speak with the victims of such a nearby tragedy ... you have never disappointed when it comes to making scum decisions to further your own ends.

May this be one of your largest regrets, and there will be more than a few, Governor Christie. There will be far more than just a few.

The Schmoe table took it up at the top of their second hour as well, this time with the superb Jon Meacham to add his fine historic opinions on gun safety and the absurdity of the availability of magazine clips; and Reverand Al Sharpton was on hand to be mystified by Christie's hypocrisy and Bully Boy behavior.

I can just hear Laffy mimicking her now: "You need us protectors of the inn-o-cent in your stores, at your res-tau-rants, at your school func-tions … Amer-i-ca just isn't safe anymore under these hippie commie pinko Kenyan liberals!"

Now, Texas women are slinging long guns over their backs instead of (or along with) their diaper bags and cross-body soft beer coolers, apparently … a movement not being enjoyed by Moms Demand Action. Nor the good folks over at Mother Jones.

Moms Demand Action began highlighting the images from the Corpus Christi store on social media on Thursday, again urging Target to take action. The company has acknowledged criticisms about the demonstrations, but to date has only said that it complies with all applicable laws; a spokesperson confirmed to me last weekend that the company has no policy specifically regarding firearms in its stores, and declined to say whether the company was considering one.

But there are indications that Target may now be doing so. On Thursday, Christopher Gavigan, the CEO of The Honest Company, which just began selling its line of eco-friendly family products in Target stores, tweeted "we are very much in an active dialogue to find a solution" on the issue.

Do these women think a homicidal dust-up is going to occur over a half-price Ralph Lauren tumbler set in Housewares? Or that other Target shoppers will just know the gun-fondling members of the über-armed Open Carry posse members aren't domestic terrorists, and not shoot back or go home with PTSD?!?

It's time to let Target know we would just as soon NOT shop alongside rifle-wielding Second Amendment fanatics. There must be plenty of Walmart stores in Texas for the gun-fetishist population to call home.

Seriously.

What I cannot imagine: walking down the housewares aisle in Target, looking for a cherry pitter or something, and saying 'excuse me' to some dame wearing a loaded rifle when I bump into her barrel while bending over to check a sale price. First instinct would be to disable the gun-fondler by hitting her over the head with the nearest Dutch oven.

We might just have to start loving us some Weiner again if he keeps decimating fools like Wallace.

The opening segment guest set the tone, it was a liberal wet dream. Holy Roller and Defender of Straight Families, Ralph Reed, actually had the stones to take on America's Best Atheist. I suspect Reed limped off stage afterwards for scrotum ice and a shot of moonshine before sprinting back to LAX.

When Reed tried to assign Christian religion value, boldly Bogarting “over half of the social capital” in the world.

Maher drawled, “Ralph, I could list so many things that are bad that religion has been responsible for: most wars, the Crusades, burning witches at the stake, 9/11–I could go on.”

Reed did the obligatory Chrrrrristian Charity Fallback Position, “Homeless shelters–90% of which are connected with a house of worship, many charities … " [yada yada yada] Maher then dropped the coup de grace: “Of course, but you can do those things without believing in magic. And people do.”
Enjoy for yourself.

On the Infamous Five Bearded Men that hypocrisy dispenser John McCain now fears more than Sarah Palin's mouth, Maher was in rare form.

On Open Carry, Maher quotably opined that the deadly Strap On penis-enhancers should stay out of stores and restaurants ... after all, he doesn't go around randomly blowing bong hits at innocent diners at the Olive Garden. [Though Nicole Wallace was clearly in deep need.]

He skewered the GunNuttery as only Maher can. Bravo to Bill Maher for taking them on, how are we supposed to know that a guy with a military-style strap-on at Target isn't there to spray bullets in the Garden and Patio section?!

“You guys aren’t just firearm enthusiasts, you’re ammosexuals. And before you try and deny that you have some sort of unnatural romantic relationship with your gun, consider this: You’re taking it out to dinner. Because it completes you. Get a room.”
